The lacrimal system: Diagnosis, management & surgery
Langue : Anglais
Auteur : COHEN A.J.
Lacrimal surgery is not a part of every ophthalmologist's daily practice, but every eye care provider refers patients to the occuloplastic specialist who do these procedures. There have been exciting advances in recent years, including the advent of balloon assisted procedures. But, the increase in lasik procedures have lead to dry eye as a common complication. This book is designed to help Lacrimal surgeons not only avoid their own mistakes, but correct the complications of patients referred to them.

From the reviews:"The book explores the anatomy, diagnosis, and management of lacrimal disorders, and discusses the gamut of disorders, from commonly-seen to rarer etiologies. ... This is clearly targeted to oculoplastic specialists. Because its course covers basic examination skills and an overview of the anatomy, it may be best suited to fellows and clinicians who are earlier in their careers. ... This is a welcome addition to our knowledge of lacrimal anatomy." (Roberta E. Gausas, Doody's Review Service, February, 2008)
